Did it last year in Salisbury NC- good time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the drawing! I think I get what you're up to there-Just never tried it that way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm an idiot. Do you have a picture/schematic of what you're talking about? Thanks!

Joel- seems like that method would require almost as much rope in play, and require raising and lowering the block over and over? I must not be thinking about it right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a cheap trick... But, if you can put a line over your couple of 'problem' branches, and don't mind them falling free, you might be able to use one of those stupid 'rope-chain-saw' things for emergency/camping to cut them off the tree. And then fell the tree yourself once it won't snag. ...

Ahh! Moot point- I was scooped on the job! 😥 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Logs are a mix, maybe 15 out of the total would be good timber. The rest are future firewood. One or two look to have fencing or other metal in them... HO just wants them gone. No burn in that area, unfortunately. Cleanup will almost surely be with a rented a chipper. Only question is who's...

Sounds good- thanks for the advice! I think I've got all my costs worked out. Now I just have to figure out what % over that figure a fair/reasonable quote would be. I WANT the job, but doing it for free would be silly... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm putting together a quote for a small (50 trees) logging job. First time I've needed to do something 'official' like this and not just around the farm/family/friends/free-ish. I can leave the stumps, and the HO wants to clean up the limbs/slash, but wants me to provide a separate quote if...

climbhigh - is that half of a rope runner with a hh hitch tied above it in your profile picture? How long have you been climbing on that? What inspired you to try it? Does it work well? Thanks,

Probably better to just get a tight eye spliced climb line, but I saw a youtube video someplace where someone had rigged up their hitch climber at a remove from their saddle bridge - I think the standing end of their climb line came down, through their bridge ring, and back up and was anchor...

You should be able to control it with another wrap/different leg configuration. I used to weigh 265 and climbed on the 8mm beeline, down to 200ish now and still using the same hitch cord - just have had to fiddle with the hitch a bit.

Nope - SRT, pull the climbline through on one end of the throwline, tie a running bowline (yosemite or safety knot too), tie the opposite end of the climbline to the tail of the bowline, cinch it up onto the crotch/limb/TIP, climb up the rope... if you need to re-position while in the tree, it's...

Would you need a second throw bag to get the rope through the tree backwards? I always just tie the climbing hitch after I've set the line. If the climbing side of the rope is going to end up on my off-hand, I usually either tie to the back end of my throwline, or pull through all/enough of my...

I'd be leery of letting go of both ends of the throwline! Maybe yours is long enough to double from the ground?

would love to get my hands on any sort of notes or training materials! If there were any other climbers anywhere around when I was working I would totally set up some 'test' runs to figure out the best way to do it, but since it's just me climbing and the wife 'grounding' I'm SOL on the rescue...

That's frustrating! Even a general book on the subject, or one that just presents various techniques that have worked and are applicable to arborists would be useful! The books that I've found that are more for urban rescues or for fire departments or whatever almost all focus on large...

I've always used the running bowline with the far end of my rope tied to the tail as a retrieval instead of the alpine butterfly with a long tail that reaches the ground so that a little more of the wear-and-tear on the rope stays isolated in the last few feet of each end... don't know if it...
